Today's show opens with the continued world wide reverberation of the bad US employment numbers from Friday. The markets have seen large sell-offs today, including a massive, first-time-ever loss on the NASDAQ of more the 1,000 points to open a trading day. This economy is owned by both Harris and Biden. They are married to it as they are to every other policy they have enacted. After some opening bell sound bites, I remind you about one of the brain-trusts Biden has as chair of his council of economic advisors, Jared Bernstein. This guy is as dumb as a box of rocks and two scoops of dirt. Another advisor, Gene Sperling has just quit the White House to work permanently on the Harris campaign. And, speaking of Harris, why hasn't she said anything yet about this failed economy? Since she has yet to address us, let's go back a year and remind you of her thoughts and wisdom about how to cure inflation. It is a wonderful example of her circuitous reasoning and word salad approach to answering a simple question. We also get thoughts on this crash from Stuart Varney and Charles Payne, both with Fox Business. We must not use the term “flip-flop” for Harris, because it allows her wiggle room enough to cause some doubt for people who might be on the fence. I illustrate this with a comment from Senator. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) when she appeared on CNN this Sunday with Dana Bash. Calling her a flip-flop allows others to paint that as “growth” and “maturation” on earlier positions. That's NOT who she is and we must not allow them to give her that opening. Then I move to yet more US Secret Service revelations. Seems the first time in the 2024 election cycle that Donald Trump was given counter-sniper teams was when he was in Butler, PA. And, yet another USSS whistleblower spoke with independent journalist Susan Crabtree about the “missing” J6 text messages from all agents' phones. Seems DHS and their agents in TSA have secretly put Tulsi Gabbard on their Quiet Skies list. It's their version of a domestic terrorist watch list. Elon Musk must have listened to Friday's show, because he made a point yesterday to comment on the stranded astronauts, saying the Boeing rocket, “Sucks!” He then wondered if he should rescue them on SpaceX? A young woman decided to tattoo her arm jet black in an effort to cover up all of her Harry Potter tattoos. She is really, really mad at JK Rowling. The question I ask is, doesn't this prove that decisions made in youth that result in permanent changes in your body, might become a regret when you grow a little older? I then treat you, in closing, with a Kamala Harris two-fer. First, we get a Deep Thoughts with VP Kamala Harris as she explains cloud computing. Then we give you her James Bond villain's laugh as she discusses being a female VP. Take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

On Monday, he told reporters that President Biden had "quadruple-checked" whether he had the legal grounds to extend the eviction moratorium unilaterally but said ultimately the president's hands were tied by a Supreme Court ruling that blocked the administration from extending its past moratorium beyond the end of July. Yesterday, the administration extended the renter protections anyway. And, the U.S. continues the hard task of global vaccine distribution.This episode: White House correspondent Scott Detrow, White House correspondent Tamara Keith, and congressional correspondent Kelsey Snell.Connect:Subscribe to the NPR Politics Podcast here.Email the show at nprpolitics@npr.orgJoin the NPR Politics Podcast Facebook Group.Listen to our playlist The NPR Politics Daily Workout.Subscribe to the NPR Politics Newsletter.Find and support your local public radio station.
A top White House aide defended President Joe Biden's decision not to extend the federal Covid-19 eviction moratorium on Monday, two days after nearly a yearlong nationwide halt on rental evictions expired. “Unfortunately, the Supreme Court declared on June 29 that the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] could not grant such an extension without clear and specific congressional authorization,” said economist Gene Sperling, who leads the White House effort to distribute Covid relief funds. The White House's argument that it lacks the legal authority to extend the eviction ban has not gone over well with the progressive wing of the Democratic party, which has been pressuring both Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., for weeks to extend the moratorium by any means necessary. “This court order came down on the White House a month ago, and the White House waited until the day before the House adjourned to release a statement asking Congress to extend the moratorium,” progressive Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, N.Y. said Sunday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
